This is the side of lawn care that the general public doesn’t want to know about or doesn’t care to think about. I’m not complaining. I’m just making a post for to help enlighten, or maybe just share my perspective a little bit. It’s 9:30 PM. I started work this morning at 7:30 A.M at 6:10 PM. I drove from my last clients property to try and catch the last 40 minutes of my children’s soccer game. I never got to see them this morning before I left for work, I ate dinner with them quickly after soccer and one child begged to ride home with me just so we could hang out a little bit. It’s strait back to the shop to fix some neglected and damaged stuff on my mowers and sharpen blades to get ready for tomorrow. I’ll likely come inside tonight around 10 PM. This is not every day but it’s a lot of days from March till September. This is why your local lawn care guy has to charge a bare minimum of $55-60 for a cookie cutter Lawn. That’s also why he’s $100 plus on your acre plus lawns. I had a potential client a few weeks ago. Try to tell me my quote was too high because I would be making. X amount of money in a certain amount of time. That’s not how it works…. Things break. Gas is still floating around $4 a gallon if you don’t maintain your equipment on a regular basis, it breaks even if you do maintain it. It’s still breaks. I’m not just speaking about myself. I’m speaking about all the Lawn guys that show up day in and day out. Through the WHOLE season. (Not the $30-40 guys who disappear when the weather hits 90 degrees) like I said, I’m not making this post to complain just to help spread awareness that when someone shows up to your yard and they’re only there for 45 minutes and they make $60 that’s not $60 in their pocket. That’s sacrificed family time that’s having to leave from a job to go to the parts store in the middle of their workday getting even further behind than when you started the day, that is what you are paying for, not just those fresh cut lines on your lawn. I am thankful and blessed to be this busy, but I also just wanted to share what was on my heart. Message or text me with any of your lawn care and yard needs! If I can’t help you I can get you in touch with some one who can!
Y’all stay blessed!
